' Application ma February 20,1004. Serial m. 194,681-

it known that 1, JOHN W. OSBORNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winchester, in the county of'Scott and the State 'of Illinois, have invented a new' and useful Shoe-Polishing Machine, of whichithe following is a specification.

. This invention relates to a deviefor clean-f mg, blacking, and polishing shoes, and especially to the means employed for feeding to the blacking brush or dauber a paste blankihg and liquid ,polisher.

' Thef invention comprises a shaft having thereon-a plurality of brushes, one of which is adapted-to serve a's'a dauber and the others as cleaning and polishing brushes, of reservoirs arranged in a plane above the dauber, of dis-' charge-pipes adapted to convey the contents of the reservoirs to the dauber, means for forcingthe blacking, paste, or liquid from the reservoirs, and a shallow tray for spreading it over the dauber. 'The shaft can be driven in any d-esiredmanner, either by hand or motor power. 4 Y 7 1 My invention also consists of the novel features of cpnstruction and combination of parts hereinafter described, particularly pointed out in the claim, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which f vice. Fig. 2 is a vertical elevatiom Fig. 3

I -belt being omitted.

QIn-the drawings, Aarepresent s a suitable base, on which is mounted an inclined standard" A, which may be formed of gas-pipe and 4 .which carries an adjustable bracket B. This bracket is held in its adjusted position on the 1 standard'A by means' of a suitable bind-screw,

' and in the bracket-arms is journaled a hori- --zontal shaft B".

Between the bracket-arms there is fixed on the shaft apulley B", and at one end of the shaft is arranged a brush C, havinga cylindrical periphery and a semispherical faceC, the brush being made 0 any suitable polishing material.

At the opposite end of the shaft B is a c,

handle F is connected to the wheel.

I lindrical brush or dauber-E, carrying on its outer face or side a conical cleaning-brush E. This brush, may also be of any desired mate rial and construction. The shaft may be r05;

tated by power from any desired source. 1 have shown the device arranged to be operatedby hand-power, a collar Ebeing arranged "adjacent the upper end of the 'standard,which I collar has a stub-shaft projecting from it, on which is arranged a grooved wheel Ffliinila l? G runs over the wheel and pulley B".

standard A and extends over the dauber E; On this platform are mounted receptacles H and H, the receptacle H containing a paste blacking and the receptacle H containing a liquid blacking. These receptacles or reser- A bracket or platform H is carried the voirs' are cylindrical, and arranged in each is a piston H, to which'isattached a pistonrod H. Y 1

Passing upwardly through the bracket or platform H is a-pipe J, opening upwardly into the receptacle H and carrying at its lower end a shallow tray J, into which the lower end of the pipe opens, the bottom of the tray being perforated. A discharge-p pe K, having a fine bore, extends from the bottom of the receptacle H and opens on the upper surface of the plate J. The pistonrods H"-work through a guide-bracket L and have suitable han'dlesor band-grasps at their upper ends. Downward pressure on these handles, or either of them, actuates the respective piston and forces from the receptacle a portion of its 'contents. contained in the receptacle H is forced through, the pipe J into the tray J and out through the perforations of the tray and spread on the dauber revolving beneathand in contact with it. The more liquid mass contained in the receptacle Hv is forced through the pipe K and discharged on the tray J and .drips' over the edge of the tray upon the dauber. The-amount of liquid or paste fed from the receptacles can be regulated by the extent of The pasty blacking downward movement of the pistons each time a new supply is forced out. .7

The further operation of the devlce will be obvious.

Having thus fully described my invention, means for discharging a liquid blacking upon what I claim as new, and'desire to secure by the top of the said tray, as and for the purl0 Lettei's Patenft, d d d pose set forth.
